BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
Present technical solution refers to the new solution of a drink
bottle in which a promotional object is placed, creating one unit
with the bottle.
2. Description of Related Art
The drink bottles according to the present state of art do not
contain promotional objects, and when the bottles are provided with
a promotional object, it is either freely enclosed to the bottle or
tied or glued to it. This solution is disadvantageous because of
the unsatisfactory fixation of the promotional object.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Said disadvantages are to a great extent corrected by the drink
bottle with a promotional object according to this technical
solution, whose subject-matter is, that the plastic or glass body
of the drink bottle is at least at one point of its surface
provided with a concave recess, into which a promotional object is
inserted. Simultaneously, at least a part of the surface of both
the drink bottle and the promotional object is covered with
wrapping, composing namely the drink bottle label. The wrapping is
advantageously made of shrink-wrap. The subject-matter of the
present technical solution is also in the body of the drink bottle
being made of polyethylene and the promotional object being a toy
in an egg-shaped cover, copying the shape of the recess in the
drink bottle.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING
FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of a drink bottle provided at
one point of its surface with a concave recess, according to an
exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 illustrates another perspective view of the bottle of FIG. 1
with a promotional object inserted into the concave recess,
according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The technical solution according to this technical solution is
disclosed by the drawing, on which the drink bottle with a
promotional object according to the present technical solution.
FIG. 1 shows a drink bottle provided at one point of its surface
with a concave recess and FIG. 2 shows a drink bottle with a
promotional object inserted into the concave recess. The surface of
the drink bottle with a promotional object is covered with
wrapping.
A plastic drink bottle with a promotional object 3 is required,
where the promotional object 3 would form a part of the bottle
while maintaining to be easily removable. That is the reason for
the concept of the technical solution of a drink bottle with a
promotional object 3 according to the present technical solution.
The body 1 of the drink bottle is made from polyethylene and by
pressing the polyethylene on the bottle's side an egg-shaped recess
2 is created, according to the size of the large part of an egg of
height of 40 mm. Into this recess 2 a promotional object 3 is
inserted. The promotional object 3 is a plastic egg-shell cover-and
egg of height of 40 mm, which can be divided into halves. In the
plastic cover of the egg, small particles are placed, from which a
toy can be constructed. The surface of the drink bottle with a
promotional object 3 is provided with cover 4 made by shrink-wrap,
which is shrank by known means. The shrink-wrap is graphically
modified so as to form the label of the drink bottle.
Present technical solution can be utilised in production of drink
bottles supposed to contain a promotional object because of
promotional purposes.
